Piston ring advice needed
 

3.0625 +.030” pistons. I’m having a heck of a time finding piston rings that fit. What are your opinions on NOS piston rings?

I used NOS Ford(orange/blue box) on my '36 engine build and they were just fine.Mine were +.040.Got them off EBAY.Hastings doesn't make them anymore.No one else had them.
Look at these:

Or, you can try "SouthSide Obsolete" ("barnfind08" on this forum). He has a bunch of stuff.

Is this a 3 ring piston? 32 to 45 with an aluminum ford 3 ring piston 85 90 hp. 121 Hastings


Also a 3 ring piston steel and a alum replacement piston 85 90 hp 122 Hastings set .



Call Hastings and tell them what piston you have and check the size in .030 over.
